Cannan’s extreme sexual violence, led him to be named as a suspect in the disappearance of 25-year-old estate agent, Suzy Lamplugh, in July 1986.

Three days before she vanished, Cannan was released from his jail hostel in London. Suzy was supposed to meet a 'Mr Kipper' for an appointment when she vanished.

Cannan has been questioned several times by police over her murder, but has never been charged and denies his involvement.
